The whistleblower whose inside info about Cambridge Analytica has caused an intercontinental political scandal just agreed to give testimony to Congress about Facebook and speak with Special Counsel Mueller’s investigators.

Pink-haired data scientist Christopher Wylie told NBC(video below) that he’s been contacted by both Special Counsel Mueller and investigators from the US Congress about his revelations of data theft and illicit psychometric targeting from GOP megadonor Robert Mercer’s company. This week, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is testifying to Congress after admitting that Cambridge Analytica stole 87 million user profiles, up from the previously reported 50 million.

I have been contacted by American authorities. We’re just setting out dates that I can actually go and sit down and meet with them. It is both Congressional investigations, and also law enforcement and the Department of Justice.

“[Steve Bannon] was looking for a means of building his arsenal to fight a culture war. So coming to a military contractor that does psychological operations really appealed to him.”

“I think that there is a substantial risk that this data was misused, and given what we know about the company, you know, and what the lengths that they’re willing to do for their clients, I think it is worth a serious investigation and to take this seriously.”

It looks like American investigators are about to fully take Christopher Wylie up on his word and get to the bottom of Cambridge Analytica and the Trump campaign’s secretive relationship with an overseas psychological warfare company.
